Ding, dong! Merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding, dong! Verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis.

E'en so here below, below
Let steeple bells be swungen
And i-o, i-o, i-o
By priest and people sungen
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis.

Pray ye dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers
May ye beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis.

Esperanto.png Esperanto translation

Bim bom! Sonas en ĉiel’
Resono sonorila.
Bim bom! Sonas de anĝel’
La kanto tre jubila:
Gloru ni, hosana en la alto!

Ankaŭ tie ĉi sur ter’
Preĝeja tur’ sonoru.
Kantoj fluu tra aer’,
Ĉar Dion ni adoru:
Gloru ni, hosana en la alto!

Pie preĝu en maten’,
Vi kantu en vespero.
Ĉie reĝu la refren’,
Vi ĉantu kun sincero:
Gloru ni, hosana en la alto!

Translation by Roel Haveman

Kling, klang! Tingelingeling!
Die Himmelsglocken schwingen.
Kling, klang! Tingelingeling!
Die Engelchöre singen:
Gloria! Hosanna in excelsis!

Kling, klang! Auch auf Erden hier
lasst Kirchenglocken schwingen.
Gott, allein zur Ehre dir
woll’n wir den Lobpreis singen:
Gloria! Hosanna in excelsis!

Drum stimmt alle froh mit ein,
lasst euer Lied erklingen.
Niemand möchte ferne sein,
wenn wir anbetend singen:
Gloria! Hosanna in excelsis!
